“Chris Pine arrived here and had his girlfriend [Iris Bjork Johannesdottir] with him and he spent most of his time with her — she flew in that day someone told me,” bar manager Casey Crawfordtold the The New Zealand Herald.

The bar manager added that there were designated drivers at the party and he was surprised to hear that Chris had driven himself.
